This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5898.
The main goal of this project is to explore how wildfire will affect the stability and fate of metals and metalloids (i.e. arsenic, mercury, antimony) in mining contaminated and pristine landscapes. Metal(loid) concentrations in air, soil, and water in and around Boundary Creek (30 km west of Yellowknife) will be co...

2005 Summary:
Antimony originating from the operation of the Giant Mine will be studied to determine mobility, speciation, movement in the environment, and the geochemical controls on its release and attenuation.
Dialysis arrays (peepers) will be used to collect pore waters from Baker Creek and Baker Pond on the Giant Mine site, and corers will be used to collect six cores from three aqueous environments on ...
